since a 35 foot buffer is required and 15 feet is provided.
The Jackson Township Municipal Utilities Authority owns and operates public potable water and sanitary sewer service in Jackson Township.
The project site is currently located within the Central Service Area as mapped by the County Wastewater Management Plan (208 Plan). Public sewer is currently available by an existing gravity sewer main located in Grande Boulevard located southwest of the property. A sewer extension is proposed within Grande Boulevard to connect the project to public sewer.
The project will be serviced by public water from an existing main located in East Veterans Highway and Bowman Road.
The stormwater management plan will utilize discrete, small management practices to efficiently collect and control increased stormwater runoff. Design standards of the Pinelands Commission (NJAC 7:50-6.84) require the applicant manage stormwater runoff by recharging all increased runoff from impervious areas from the 10-year, 24 hour storm and controlling runoff peaks for the 2, 10 and 100 year storm events to less than pre-development runoff levels. The plan will include the management practice of complying with the Green Infrastructure requirements. Multiple small scale infiltration basins are proposed to comply with the stormwater management regulations.
Several site investigations of the project site and surrounding area have been conducted by the author from June 2025 to March 2026.
The following inventory describes the existing environmental conditions onsite.
The project site lies within the outer coastal plain physiographic province. The project site is located within the Coastal Plain geomorphic province. The geologic framework of the Coastal Plain is one of underlying gently southeastward dipping unconsolidated clays, marls, silts and sands of the tertiary (65 to 1.75 million years ago) period.
The project lies within the Kirkwood Formation, which is overlain by the Cohansey Sand and underlain by the Shark River/Manasquan Marl. The Kirkwood Formation crops out along the northern part of Ocean County. The Kirkwood Formation ranges in thickness from a minimum of 50 feet in the outcrop area to a maximum reported thickness of about 800 feet in Atlantic City (Geology and Groundwater Resources of Ocean County, NJ 1969). The topography of the site slopes
